is talking directly to the taliban in peace talks. is that so? >> well, i think there's been outreach on the part of a number of countries including the united states. i would say that -- that these contacts are very preliminary at this point. my own view is that real reconciliation talks are not likely to be able to make any substantive headway until at least this winter. i think that the taliban have to feel themselves under military pressure and begin to believe that they can't win before they're willing to have a serious conversation. >> what, in your mind, is an appropriate and sizable withdrawal from afghanistan? >> bring these troops home and let the afghans deal with the future of their country. the united states cannot literally go from one country to another around the world with all the instability and say that ultimately our men and women in uniform will put their lives on the line for the stability of every nation in transition. >> if we fail in afghanistan, they will kill every moderate who tried to help us and no one in the future
